Chapter Fifteen

Graham opened the door to his apartment and ushered her inside, his hand pressed to the small of her back. Exhaustion weighed down every muscle in her body.

She needed a shower and she needed sleep, but fear lingered in the forefront of her mind. No doubt ghosts waited to greet her as soon as she closed her eyes. Images of Becca, cold and afraid, waiting for someone to help her. She blinked the thoughts away. At least for the moment. She glanced around. His apartment was small, but nice. Granite countertops and gleaming hard wood floors enticed her forward, and she traced a finger along the smooth surface of the counter that jutted out from the wall, separating the kitchen from the living room.

“Why don’t you have a seat, and I’ll make us something to eat?” Graham nodded toward the backless stools in front of the granite peninsula.

“I’m not hungry.” Food was the last thing on her mind, even if she hadn’t eaten in hours.

“Sit down anyway. I’m starving, and you need to unwind a little before you go to sleep. Trust me, if you don’t try to let some of what happened tonight leak from your mind, it will just make things worse.”

His gentle tone prodded her to sit down on the stool. Mickey settled her elbows on the hard surface and held her head up with her palms. Her gaze followed him around the kitchen as he grabbed leftover lasagna from the refrigerator and heated it up. Despite her earlier refusal, he grabbed two plates and slid the warm food under her nose and then took a seat beside her.

The combination of garlic and oregano was too tempting to resist, and she grabbed a forkful of food and took a bite. “This is really good.”

“I’ll let my mom know you think so. She tries to make sure my freezer’s always stocked with something to heat up.”

A smile touched her mouth. “That’s nice. I wish my parents lived close enough to do that. Not like I’m home much anyway.”

“They don’t live in Chicago?”

Mickey shook her head. “No. They live a few hours away. Close enough to visit when I get a chance, but not close enough to supply food on a regular basis. I moved here when I started working for the airline.”

“How long have you been a flight attendant?” Graham stood and grabbed two bottles of water, setting one by each of their plates, and sat back down.

The food sank to the pit of her stomach and mixed with the fear that had taken residence there. Mickey dropped her fork and stared at him. “Really? That’s what we’re going to talk about right now? I don’t think I can sit here and pretend like I didn’t just walk away from a living hell.” She hated the way her voice shook, but she couldn’t stop it. The dam was about to burst, and she didn’t care.

Graham set his fork down and twisted to face her. He cupped her cheek with his hand, and she closed her eyes and leaned into his warmth.
